The Deccan Herald, in an editorial, says the "disgust over its [the UPA's] corruption-ridden and inept governance, especially over the last four years, is intense and widespread".

On foreign policy, The Pioneer suggests that "Delhi has ruined solid friendships with countries such as Sri Lanka and the Maldives through a series of diplomatic blunders".

The paper, however, adds that "it will be churlish to insist that there is nothing which the government did right in the last four years". It praises the government for bringing in tough laws that provide harsher punishment for sex offenders.

Meanwhile, The Indian Express reports that the Delhi high court has ordered Bollywood actor Shayan Munshi to be tried for perjury for allegedly giving contradictory statements during the Jessica Lal murder trial.

Ms Lal, who worked as a model in the national capital, Delhi, was killed by Manu Sharma, the son of an influential Indian politician, in 1999 for refusing to serve him a drink at a restaurant.

Police vs police

Indian news channels, including Times Now, have carried shocking footage of two policemen in Uttar Pradesh state attacking each other with sticks as the chief minister of the state addressed a meeting nearby.

"The two policemen bled profusely following their clash in the presence of media persons at the venue of an entrepreneurs' conclave addressed by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav," the Hindustan Times reported.

Finally, on a lighter note, The Times of India says Sreesanth fits the bill for a place in Bigg Boss - India's version of the television show Big Brother.

The paper says Sreesanth is "controversial, can be loud and angry, can cry in public and most importantly has managed to destroy his reputation".

These qualities make him a strong contender for a place in the Bigg Boss house in the next season, it adds.
